Our interactive guide summarises four years of work in ACCESS.
Suitable for local energy system practitioners and those making decisions about the future of local energy.
See how four local authorities led local energy system development through ACCESS, reducing carbon emissions and cutting energy costs for residents and businesses.
Amersfoort deployed heat battery technology and a smart battery offering storage-as-a-service to lower residential energy bills and ease grid congestion.
Malmö deployed smart EV charging and solar and battery co-location to turn a new car park installation into a mobility hub that supports the local grid.
Mechelen deployed vehicle-to-grid, smart EV charging, energy management systems, and energy sharing agreements to build an advanced e-mobility hub.
West Suffolk worked with businesses to set up peer-to-peer energy trading and scalable energy efficiency services to reduce energy bills for local businesses.
See what local energy leadership looks like on the ground, with videos from our four local authorities pilots.
